Mechanical actuation of reconfigurable optical fibres
Mechanical actuation of reconfigurable optical fibres
We have recently demonstrated a novel type of microstructured nanomechanical optical fibres with optical properties that can be continuously tuned by mechanical actuation, similar to chip-based MEMS optical couplers. We review different options for actuation, such as gas pressure, temperature, and electrostatic forces, and discuss progress in the fabrication and experimental demonstration of these fibres.

Abstract
We have recently demonstrated a novel type of microstructured nanomechanical optical fibres with optical properties that can be continuously tuned by mechanical actuation, similar to chip-based MEMS optical couplers. We review different options for actuation, such as gas pressure, temperature, and electrostatic forces, and discuss progress in the fabrication and experimental demonstration of these fibres.
